Just got a new toy

[Strykerfive]

Howdy all,

I just upgraded from my old trusty canoe to a new 19 Ft bay boat. Been out on New River a couple times this week just getting used to operating it and doing some exploring.

Was wondering if anyone had any tips for locations around the New River area for Specks, Flounder, or Red Drum. Should I be further inland around some of the small creeks for this time of year or closer to the inlet?

Also was wondering if anyone that has a bay boat has ever taken it out past the inlets before. Not really sure about doing it yet with my seamanship experience but wondering if the capability is there.

Appreciate any suggestions or tips.
